HAPPENING NOW: Lawmakers honor the late Harry Reid in Washington
In a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda — which was closed to the public under COVID-19 protocols — current Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer remembered Reid as"one of the most generous and incredible people" he's ever met.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remembered the longtime lawmaker from tiny Searchlight, Nevada, as being"defined by defying long odds."
Reid died on Dec. 28 after a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 82. Family and friends honored Reid at a funeral service in Las Vegas over the weekend. President Joe Biden was among those in attendance. Reid rose from poverty in a dusty Nevada mining town to the most powerful position in the U.S. Senate. He was first elected as a senator in 1986. Including two terms in the House, Reid was the longest-serving Nevadan in Congress.
